i have the same rims on my teg and that happened to me too. i didn't notice it until my tires ran out of air on the freeway and shredded my tires, haha.

i just hammered it back in with a big booty hammer. kinda scary when it feels like you're about to crack your rims. but i just hammered it back. only looks like i curbed it now :D

A week or two here in Cali? Expect it to be MONTHS before you hear or see anything.
GL. I hope you get it fixed/replaced properly.

You can beat that out with a hammer or bat. Just be careful not to crack it. If it cracks THROW IT AWAY.
